DIY Wooden Sign and Valentine’s Mantel

I have been wanting to make a large sign/frame, forever now! I decide to make one. I went to home depot and got the cheapest plywood, but it is thick enough to be able to use a router on it. I believe it was $35 I found an image online and printed it on overhead projector transfer. Using my overhead projector I made the image as big as I could.

I traced it with a marker then set it up on saw horses.

Now the fun part….cut it with a jigsaw! You can get a jigsaw for $20 and up and it is a must have tool for sure! You will use it often!

I used the router around the whole thing and it made it sooo much better! It finished it off, perfectly! The router was way easier to use then I thought it would be. I primed it, and spray painted it white. Then, I stenciled “Love is in the Air” for my Valentines Day Party… But I have something else great in store for this beauty!

One thing I love about this is that there are so many options. You could decoupage a picture, add a quote, make it into a chalkboard or add photo corners so that you can change out each different poster size prints or quotes for the different holidays.
